Yeah like you need thought crime laws and to ban discussions of WW2 / German NS aspects that the Jews / anti-whites hate so much, to prosecute those killing non-whites.

These laws are to punish writers and journalists who try to speak the truth.

Assuming one believes all violent "neo-nazis" must be stopped, you don't need this law for that. Actually, even just the visual symbols (swastika etc) were already illegal due to other laws. Books of Hitler, Mussolini etc were already banned as "hateful and extremist".

No, folks, this law has only one purpose and implication, as is obvious to any reasonable person. But not to certain lunatics (or shills trying to confuse and/or discredit I don't know).

Here's an example of Putin on immigration below. (I wish the spineless Republicans were that tough on Mexican illegals.)

Russia still has way too many Central Asian Muslims inside their borders.

I see. But I think it's a distortion that he spoke specifically about Third World Immigration. That was the part I was wondering about, the racial aspect. As you can see, in his speech, it's all "break the nation’s laws by failing to register or get work permits, and on companies that profit by hiring them." and the permits and not paying taxes and things like that. He says nothing that implies a racial aspect to it.

Of course, I guess, you could say, that most illegal immigrants tend to be from poor non-white countries, like, in Russia's case, the Central Asian neighbours. In that case yes, cracking down on illegal migration as such de-facto reduces non-whites, and is therefore good, if it's not phony. But it's still a little misguiding to say it in such a way that looks as if there is an explicitly named racial aspect.

Now, even more importantly, Putin just as American neo-cons speaks out of two sides of his mouth on that issue. I mean, didn't even Bush (or was it McCain? I am not American and only vaguely recall from posts on SF) that was for years promising to do something about migration, "build a wall" etc? And then reality is quite different? Well, to compare, you are very welcome to check out this thread -- https://www.stormfront.org/forum/t1008187/ -- which is sort of "anthology" of Putin's BS on this topic over the years, put vis-a-vis facts of what took place in reality.

And, by the way, while such statements as you referred to certainly do exist (and many more you can find in the thread above), again, there is this certain thing with talking out of both sides of the mouth. And on the other side of the statements like what you mentioned, there are

Putin about turkic-asian ex-Soviet "compatriots": As for our compatriots, I think that they should be able to obtain citizenship under a simplified procedure, as should all people from the post-Soviet area who are healthy, educated, of an age when they can have children, and adapt easily to our cultural environment. Russia needs such people. I just recently updated my instruction to the Government and the Federal Migration Service. I hope that these procedures will be drafted and applied. (Source 1, Source 2)

Putin urged Russian lawmakers “to develop a simplified procedure for granting Russian citizenship to our compatriots, the bearers of the Russian language and Russian culture, the direct descendants of those who were born in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, for those who want to take up permanent residence in our country and, therefore, to give up their current citizenship.” In his annual address to the Federal Assembly, Putin said that Russia needs new blood – educated and hardworking people who want to move to the country and consider it their homeland. [...] Critics also argue that the bill may cause an increase of immigration from the former Soviet republics in the Caucasus and Central Asia, adding to the thousands of migrant workers from those regions that have already come to Russia. (Source)

Putin opposes enforcing RF's border control with ex-USSR states (this includes Turkic and Asian states like Azerbaijan, Tadjikistan, Kazakhstan etc): "The [existence of] visa requirements within the CIS would mean that we are pushing former Soviet republics away from us. We do not need to push them away. Rather, we need to forge closer relations with them. But we ought to make this process more civilized," (Source)

Quote:

Vladimir Putin: [...] So it is a general problem which is related primarily to the economy and to the need to attract a cheap labour force. Actually the same thing is happening in Russia. But in our country, despite how acute this problem is, it’s still not as severe and dangerous as it is in Europe and in the States. Why?

If we speak about immigrants, i.e. citizens of other countries in Russia, most migrants come here from different parts of the former Soviet Union. This new generation might not be speaking good Russian but their families do one way or another. We still do share a common mentality, a common historic memory. Some of them or perhaps their relatives may have lived in the regions of Russia. These factors make it much easier for these people to integrate in the lives of those ethnic groups where they are resettling for permanent residence.

Some of our readers have written to us, expressing confusion, surprise and dismay over Russia's recent decision to ban certain revisionist views of World War II and the HolyHoax. For the past 20 years, alternative scholars and researchers such as David Duke have been able to speak and write freely in the new Russia. This recent law appears to contradict the trend towards academic freedom, as well as freedom from Big Jewry, that had been established in Russia.

After all, it was Putin who made the "anti-Semite" Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago mandatory reading in Russian High Schools. And it was Putin who hounded the Jewish Oligarchs into prison or out of Russia. And it was Putin who publicly said that the Bolsheviks were mainly Jewish. And it was Putin who blocked, and continues to block, the planned Jewish Holy Wars against Syria and Iran.

After 20 some years of relative freedom, Holocaust denial has become illegal in Russia?

After 20 some years of relative freedom, Holocaust denial has become illegal in Russia?

There were previously some bans on books by authors like Jurgen Graf in Russia, in recent years. By it was evidently a lower priority task than punishing some other thought crimes (implied by the number of precedents). Because, AFAIK, the authors were foreign in all cases, there were no prosecutions of individuals, or some kind of high profile trials, merely open&shut cases here and there adding a few books to the List of Extremist Materials that are illegal to distribute with little publicity.

So, to say that there was freedom is not quite valid. Thought crime laws in Russia already existed to hypothetically punish a Holocaust revisionist author with fines or imprisonment. Technically, it would be through construing it as, say, incitement of ethnic hatred against Jews (AFAIK in some European countries that's how holocaust sceptics are prosecuted). It would just require slightly more "legal acrobatics", but it would definitely be possible, just as it was possible to ban the book of Jurgen Graf.

The true meaning of this new law is therefore not a fundamental change from free speech to lack of free speech, but rather it means this:

1. It's now easier to prosecute, no need to, for example, prove the intent to incite hatred (not that it ever was a big obstacle in thought crime courts which are, everywhere and anywhere they exist, de-facto inquisition courts with special rules of "burden of proof" etc).

2. Maximum penalties are higher. There is now also a separate article of Criminal Law against "denying this and that", and, perhaps, several charges can be "piled on" (remains to be seen if this will actually happen). IF this is done, a guy could be going away for a very long time indeed. I kinda doubt it will be done in practice, but who knows.

3. The fact itself that the law is introduced may or may not indicate that there will be an increase in activity. Obviously, this is speculative and will become clear only after a few years, at least.

Thanks for that brilliant explanation, maximus1215. Now once again anyone can see how Putin is the master Chess Player.

Obama needs to take notes here and see why he's being played for a fool by his Zionist handlers. Kerry might be enlightened too, if he we're really sincere about cracking down on Israel's abuse of power over the Palestinians.
